sensor values "unavailable"

[DFS-90]

Hi,

first: Thanks for your efforts and your amazing work! 👍

I've been able to install your HA add-on and configure it according to the information given here. (Maybe you could provide these information in your add-on's README? - e. g. that 'country' has to be inserted as "two letter code" as well as that the MQTT server's ip has to be filled in without "mqtt://".)

Unfortunately, the sensors' values are all "unknown" (see also here.

As I have been using tomquist's "Solix2MQTT" plugin before (via Docker on my UnRAID server), I'd like to share my HA config:

in configuration.yaml:
----------------------
mqtt: !include_dir_merge_named includes/mqtt/

in config/includes/mqtt/Anker_Solix_E1600.yaml:
-------------------------------------------------

Maybe this helps you to find and correct the error? I'd be very happy to integrate Solix2MQTT into my HomeAssistant server! :-)

Thank you very much and best regards, David

Please try version 1.2.x. It is now possible to specify the mqtt uri as well as a custom state topic.

I set the topic to "solix" - now it works fine! Thanks for your efforts! 👍
